    "Fool" embodies this power structure as she manages to forge together all ranges of her nostalgic vocalizations and eclipse them outright with a full-on frontwoman wail. Feats such as that can only be pulled off with pedigree and talent, both of which Molly Burch debuts in spades on Please Be Mine.

    Please Be Mine will go down as a hugely self-assured debut offering from one of indie’s most promising new acts.

Her deep breathy voice is simply enchanting and evolves beautifully throughout this album. Her debut single, Downhearted, was a real treat to discover last year and this album delivers in every way I had hoped. It’s easy to get lost in Molly's mesmerizing voice, but it would be a real crime to overlook her band. The subtle balance of retro country, soul, and jazz makes the music an excellent choice to sit back and take in. The guitar work is nothing short of delicious too.… Full Review »
